S216-- EXTERIOR CANOPY AND WINDOW WASHING

This solicitation, issued as a combined synopsis and request for quote under FAR Part 13, seeks commercial window and canopy cleaning services at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina, and is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561720 applies, with a small business size standard of $22.0 million, and the contract is anticipated to be awarded as a firm-fixed-price agreement. The scope of work requires full cleaning of all exterior window surfaces, including glass, frames, sills, sashes, and solar barrier films, as well as the main entrance canopy, using labor, materials, equipment, and supervision provided by the contractor. The contractor must conduct an initial assessment to determine scaffolding requirements and submit a work plan for VA approval prior to commencing any work, with all services to be completed within 60 days from the agreed-upon start date. The acquisition includes a base year running from August 10, 2026, through August 9, 2027, with four option years extending through August 9, 2031, each structured as a separate line item requiring separate pricing. To be eligible for award, offerors must be certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA’s certification database and must submit a signed certification affirming compliance with limitations on subcontracting, both of which are pass/fail eligibility gates; failure to provide either results in disqualification. Offerors must also maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and ensure all required representations and certifications—such as those concerning whistleblower rights, trafficking in persons, equal opportunity for veterans and workers with disabilities, and prohibitions on inverted domestic corporations—are properly completed and incorporated by reference. Proposals must include the solicitation number, offeror contact details, UEI, agreement with all terms and conditions, and any other information necessary for evaluation under FAR 52.212-2. Responses must be submitted electronically via email to Sheryl Harris by 10:00 AM CT on July 13, 2026, with questions due by July 9, 2026. Prices must remain firm for 60 days post-deadline, and late submissions will be rejected unless acceptance would not delay the acquisition. The government retains unlimited rights to
